A linear voltage regulator maintains a constant output voltage despite changes in the input voltage or load conditions. It dissipates excess power as heat.

A type of linear regulator that uses a variable element, like a transistor, connected in series with the load to maintain a constant output voltage.

A switching regulator converts the input voltage to a higher or lower level using an inductor, transformer, or capacitor, with higher efficiency than linear regulators.

A regulator using Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) to chop the AC input waveform and thereby control the output voltage to a load.

A technique used in regulators where a portion of the output is fed back to the control device to make adjustments ensuring stable output voltage.

A resistive circuit that outputs a fraction of the input voltage, used for setting reference voltages in regulators.

An electromagnetic device that regulates voltage by using the saturation of a magnetic core to limit AC voltage.

A simple voltage regulator using a Zener diode’s reverse breakdown voltage characteristic to maintain a steady output voltage.

A device or circuit that provides a constant voltage output used as a reference for other components or circuits to ensure accurate and stable operation.
